It has come up a few times in the lifetime of this blog that we have great families. It's true. Germany in January is hardly a dream vacation spot for Minnesotans (or anyone really), but that didn't stop the Swanbergs. They were contemplating a trip here later in the month, but when it came up that Erik was going to be in Chicago shortly after our move here, suddenly a flight was booked with arrival on January 1. Yes, I know that their desire to help me through yet another transition was part of it, but I think they maybe really wanted to see a couple of little girls . . . .
Well, as I mentioned, I don't know what I would have done without them here during those stormy first days in Wiesbaden. They endured my sleep deprivation, my vegetarian cooking, nearly constant rain (including a storm that was referred to as a "hurricane" by the newspapers.), multiple daily walks up the hill to our house, and my newfound addiction to Bananagrams.
If the many hours we spent hanging out at home bothered them, they didn't mention it. As they said, "We're not going to see Europe. We're going to visit you, and you just happen to live in Europe." So this is kind of what we did.
